Hey guys, great work so far! It's coming across as a lot more polished and thought out than the last demo. My only comment so far would be to slow down the rate of attack on all weapons. If you remember the first few Resident Evil games, the rate of fire on the guns and even the knife, is really quite slow. They fire, and then take a while to reorient themselves for the next shot.
I think a slow rate of fire would help create that survival horror panic feeling, when you are firing everything you have at the enemy and they just keep coming. It also encourages saving ammo by making every shot count.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but that's just my 2c, keep up the good work.

Mrksmt9s concerns were legitimate to an extent. Sewers have been done to death, but it all depends on what you are looking for with this mod. If you want tried and true Resident Evil formulas, then this is great. If you are looking for something completely original, you will be disappointed.

From what I've seen so far (played the demo and all) this team is trying to re-create the atmosphere of RE in the first person. This includes cliche areas like the sewer, the awesome RE soundtracks and of course, bad (awesome) voice acting. It's all part of the Resident Evil universe, take it or leave it.

Silent hill has been done.
Resident Evil has been done.
They are both tried and true formulas.
Combining them, (as far as I can tell) hasn't been done before. At least not done well. You guys have a chance to make something different by combining formulas, and if you can pull it off I will definitely check it out :D

Unfortunatly, it's not that apparent, but the other soldier behind the viewer shoots the guard, and then walks by him. It's not that obvious, and is hard to see. This was very rushed, and you can probably tell that the whole death sequence was just thrown on to end it, and wasn't really thought through :p

Any time we had an issue, or a bug in source - or wanted to know how to make something work, she would hit the internet hard looking for solutions so we didn't have to get caught on one issue, and the other artists could progress to other things while the issue was being resolved

Her biggest contribution was getting characters to work, but she also helped us get blending textures and some other particle effect things, like missile trails (which we have yet to perfect)
